CBS Interactive has just launched the Best Beginnings Award, designed specifically to promote and encourage small businesses in Australia. CBS wants to know what makes your business unique and how you contribute to your industry - and, you could receive an advertising and direct email package valued at $20,000!
To qualify, your small business must have been in operation for at least six months (as of September 5th, 2011) and have no more than 10 employees.
Small businesses that meet the above criteria are invited to submit a two-minute video or a written summary (of no more than 100 words) detailing how their business has seen success and why they would encourage people to invest time and money in their business.
All video entries and written summaries submitted as part of the awards will be featured on the Best Beginnings website for a period of six weeks and will be subject to a public vote. Readers and the public will vote for their favourite entries to determine a top 10 shortlist. An editorial panel will view all shortlisted entries and choose one winner who will receive the Best Beginnings Award.
CBS Interactive can arrange to film your entry at their studio in Sydney on 12 or 13 September or at Flying Solo's Independents Day event on 6 September. Email au-marketing@cbsinteractive.com to book a time and for more details.
